I have too much upper eyelid space. What can I do? (photos)

Gamen
I have way too much upper eyelid space. No, I do not have ptosis or any problems with my eyes. I do NOT use my eyebrows to compensate - it's simply the fat storage that is empty! I've looked into fillers into the upper eyelids but I'm very scared of the dangerous side effects, since if it gets accidentally injected into one of my veins it can cause blindness in rare cases. And even if there's just the smallest chance I'll go blind, I don't want to do it. What are my options?
